Tiscali, first problems
I am planning for a long time do describe my very entertaining story with telecom italia, but still waiting for it to be finished. Meanwhile I am a Tiscali client and their quality of service from technical POV (e.g. bandwith, round trip,etc. ) as well as billing are just over my expectations. As always, the problems start when it comes to administrative stuff and here we go... Saturday afternoon, the line goes down physically, so it is either a cabling malfunction or the DSLAM. Ok, waiting for monday morning, calling the support (luckilly I have a business contract, so it is toll-free and they answer immediately). I am being said that the problem will be solved in 36-48 hours. OK, no problem, acceptable time. This morning I've called them again to check if there is some update. I am being said, that it is not 36-48, but 3-10 business days. That's a lot. I have 5 projects now and for 3 of these I am working using this service. These are freezed now. If it is not enough to see why I am pissed off now, just add to it that this is not telecom italia line and DSLAM, but Tiscali ones... I just don't get it why such level of services is tolerated by the market????

Tiscali, is back
Working on Saturday? WOW. Sixths day and the line is back. However I will have to call them monday because of ADSLv2/20Mbps I am on v1/640Kbps now because the outsourced technician said "Per me il problema e' stato risolto la linea e' a posto, buongiorno".

eBay and Jajah, my 5 cents
Jajah is one of the ultimate PR machines nowdays. They just took a plain callback service, wrapped it into pretty words, got on internet, now they say it is supported by mobile phones, actually any webbrowser enabled one... You see, I am a tech guy by nature and I know that their "revolutionary" technology does not worth a penny, actually about a business week of my work. But thats the business and they are great to sell this product. However, what they've done last week was a pure PR attack on eBay and Skype. Everyone knows that eBay does not allow external links but they did it and I bet they knew where it will end. After all, would Jajah allow links to "skype me" on their pages? I doubt that. eBay on the other hand manages Skype for 2 years (as far as I remember). What "cool" did they do with it? Nothing just rumors about management changes. Creating something similar to what Jajah does would be no more but a week of the Skype developers work, then add 2 months of burocracy and you've got it in less then 6 months. Instead they are not doing that by themselves and are not letting the other to do that. "The Dog in the Manger". But that is also a business. Their business. That is my personal opinion and I am not trying to make myself look like a techy nerd. I do understand them both perfectly and walking in their shoes on the today market would most probably force me to do the same steps. I just don't like when business slows down technology, but that's something rather religious ;)

Bravo! Bravo governo Italiano!
E' un disegno di legge complesso, 20 pagine, 35 articoli, che adesso comincia a seminare il panico in Rete. Chi ha un piccolo sito, perfino chi ha un blog personale vede all'orizzonte obblighi di registrazione, burocrazia, spese impreviste. Soprattutto teme sanzioni penali più forti in caso di diffamazione. repubblica Ma fra poco come in Cina?
